Excerpt from Studies in Modern Irish, Vol. 2: Continuous Prose Composition

English is fond of metaphor and personification. Irish on the whole is more restrained and matter-of-fact. The English metaphor will be treated in one of three ways: (a) There will be no metaphor at all in the Irish rendering, or it will be toned down in various ways (b) Irish will use a different metaphor, - more suitable because more familiar; (c) There will be a definitely stated metaphor, as contrasted with the mere allusiveness of English or instead of a metaphor we shall have a simile. Examples.
